I Saw Her Standing There

Chapter 2

KERIN POV

 "Alright Kerin, I'm going out now. If you need anything, you know where to reach me right?"

I sigh, "Yes mom, now go or else you'll be late for work. Love you!" She smiles and she grabs her keys off the hook and heads out the door. It's already late afternoon and I know I have to get ready or else I'll be late. I run to my room and put on the outfit that I had planned last night and quickly fixed any stray makeup. Then I grabbed my purse and dashed out of the apartment building.

I could already hear the screams of girls from the Ed Sullivan Theater. It was quite frightening to think that soon I would be one of them. I picked up my pace a bit and didn't stop until I was a few feet away from the excitement. Girls of all ages were gathered around, waiting for the car to pull up in front of the theater. Cameramen were waiting impatiently on the sidewalk, continuously checking their watches. I inched my way up to the rest of the crowd and started screaming as well. I began to shove my way through the waves of girls, getting slapped many times. I'm sure I could feel a bruise developing on my right arm but I ignored it and kept pushing. Once I made it to the third row I stopped myself. All of a sudden, the screaming became louder and many started jumping up and down. I joined with them but I didn't understand what was going on, until a comment pierced the air.

"THEY'RE HERE! THEY'RE HERE!"

Many girls started crying and hugging their friends. I saw a few girls faint and some were curled up on the ground which I thought was a little strange. Through the window I could see a cheeky grin, which I knew belonged to Ringo almost instantly. I saw Paul quickly waving to all of the girls that rushed up to his window. There were a few officers starting to pry them away but the girls put up a good fight. I couldn't see John or George and assumed that they were sitting in the opposite side of the car.

JOHN POV

The screams erupted through the entire car as we pulled up in front of the theater. I could barely see anything because of all the camera flashes coming through the window.

"Alright let's get a move on it then", I say.

This was the worst part of any tour. Every girl in the area is here and they start to grab you and try to kiss you and it's bloody annoying. The only good part of any trip is when we play our music. Ringo looks over to one of the police officers and gets a nod, signaling that it was safe to open the car door. He hesitated for a couple seconds, but I managed to shove him out. George followed right after me, and I could sense that he was just as nervous as I was. I saw around three or four girls immediately drop to the ground and the officers had to go and treat them. It was a long way to the front door of the theater and I wanted to make it as quick as possible. Paul tried saying something to me, but I couldn't understand him over all the screams. I think he realized too as he sent me a quick wink. Of course, all the girls thought it was to them and screamed even louder. Only a couple more yards until we were safe inside.

KERIN POV

I couldn't believe my eyes. I saw Ringo leading the way and he was laughing. Sometimes he would stop and give a few girls a high-five. Next was...oh! John Lennon. John was easily my favorite Beatle, even though they were all fantastic. He was dressed in a black suit and his signature Beatle boots. His hair was a little tousled from the cold New York wind. He waved to a few girls and I knew I had to move up through the crowd. Once I had reached the police line, I was satisfied but it wasn't good enough. I tried pushing past the officers but they were much too strong for me. Soon enough, other girls joined the fight and I was able to slip under the officer's arms. I ran right up to John and grabbed his hand. His face quickly turned to shock as he faced me. I tried to speak but it came out more like "huh-duh". His expression was more confused now and I could completely understand. I must've looked a wreck and he probably thought I was wrong in the head or something like that considering my words weren't even english.

"Um..Can I help you? Are you alright miss?", he asked me.

He asked ME.

I started stuttering. A sly grin spread across his face and that was it. I just stood there, staring at this beautiful face that I fell in love with a year ago. But that grin was the last thing that I remember before my vision went black.
